Juju’s Map Joins Keeneland's November Book 1 Lineup

Keeneland has announced that grade 1 winner Juju's Map , a 3-year-old daughter of Liam's Map  , has been cataloged to the 79th November Breeding Stock Sale and will be offered Nov. 7 during the sale's prestigious Book 1. Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, Juju's Map has been entered as a racing or broodmare prospect.

Juju's Map is one of the outstanding runners bred and raised by Fred Hertrich III, who in his own name or in partnership with John D. Fielding bred six grade 1 winners of 2021. Her sire won the 2015 Las Vegas Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) at Keeneland and is related to three other stakes winners, including promising young stallion Not This Time  .

"Juju's Map is a third-generation Taylor Made Sales grad following Unbridled's Song and her sire, Liam's Map," Taylor Made CEO Mark Taylor said. "She has lived up to the family legacy both on the track and with her absolutely gorgeous conformation." 

Juju's Map possesses a quality female family. Her dam, the Flatter   mare Nagambie , is a half sister to grade 1 winner Fault . Juju's Map also is from the family of multiple grade 1 winner Bast  and grade 2 winners Mananan McLir and Fioretti .

Racing for Albaugh Family Stables, Juju's Map at 2 was among the most talented fillies of her generation. She captured her maiden victory by 5 3/4 lengths as the 3-5 favorite in a performance that launched her into elite company for her next start, Keeneland's Darley Alcibiades Stakes (G1). The 2-1 favorite for the race, she swept to the lead on the far turn and cruised to a 4 1/4-length victory while covering 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.52 the fastest time for the stakes on the dirt since Racing Hall of Famer Silverbulletday  won in 1:42.24 in 1998.

The NetJets Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) at Del Mar was next, and Juju's Map finished second after a sluggish start to eventual champion Echo Zulu . Juju's Map was a finalist for the Eclipse Award as champion 2-year-old filly.

Out until May, she won her initial start at 3 in an allowance optional claiming race at Churchill Downs. She has since run third as the favorite in three follow-up starts in 2022—the June 25 Mother Goose Stakes (G2), the July 31 Monmouth Oaks (G3), and the Sept. 25 Remington Park Oaks (G3). 

"'Juju' was a tremendous filly that gave our family so much excitement," Albaugh Family Stables racing manager Jason Loutsch said. "She ran eight times and was on the board in all eight. Winning a grade 1 at Keeneland is something we will never forget.

"She has such a big heart, great mind, and lots of speed. We can't wait to see her babies on the track."

"We are excited to welcome Juju's Map back to Keeneland, where she sold as a yearling and won our premier race for 2-year-old fillies," Keeneland vice president of sales Tony Lacy said. "Her top-class breeding and precocity on the racetrack make her a valuable offering in Book 1 of the November Sale."

Book 1 begins at 1:00 p.m. ET Nov. 7 after Keeneland hosts the Breeders' Cup World Championships Nov. 4-5.
